Vegan Pizzas & My Summer Bucketlist

Friday, 11 May 2018

Spring weather is officially here and I'm welcoming it with open arms and rolled up vintage jeans. With the nicer weather slowly peeking its way over the horizons and the sun staying out a few extra moments of the day, I find the idea of string lit summer patios and clinking glasses with friends leaves an early summer buzz lingering in the air. Aside from a standard BBQ (pass the grilled corn and veggie burgs please), I'd have to say, splitting a cheesy, garlic pizza and a bottle of rosé has to be one of my favourite ways to end a summer afternoon. Not to mention for some reason, I've been having some serious Italy wanderlust working it's way through my bones.

I may or may not have even started budgeted out the cost of a trip so I can get my hands on some true Italian pizza and wine.

*Immediately adds Eat Pizza in Italy to bucket list*

But I'm getting ahead of my self. For now, the "Confirm Payment" button has been left untouched and the "Preheat" button was hit instead. To tie myself over while I revel in the idea of a potential adventure down the cobblestones streets of Italy, I'm sharing with you my absolute favourite vegan pizza recipes, along with my bucket list of things I want to fill my yellow rayed days with!

Summer Bucketlist

When I recently asked you guys what you wanted to see more of on my blog and channel, a big topic that I noticed popping up was sharing more bucket list and travel related content. I figured I may as well go ahead and paste my summer bucket list from the notes in my phone to the world of the interweb - not only to get your own calendars popping, but to see if I can actually follow through on a lot of the memories I can see this summer creating.

I don't know why, but this year I've felt this insistent need to make the most of every month and each season. Summer is rolling in with no difference. Although my ideal sunset BBQ's by the water in a small beach cottage may stem from reading a little too much Nicolas Sparks in the last few weeks, I do want to try and manifest a summer I won't forget. Here are a few things you'll find on my summer bucket list this year:

Chicago Road Trip (deep dish anyone?)

Hit up an Amusement Park & Ride Roller Coasters

Do an Outdoor Yoga Class

Go Camping & Have a Massive Bonfire

Take a Surfing Lesson (+ helps with continuing to push past fear of the ocean and dig into my fishy pisces roots)

Regularly Check out Farmers Markets & Buy Local Produce/Flowers

Go Sky Diving - I say this every year... time to actually do it

Attend As Many Concerts as Humanly Possible (Taylor Swift already in the books)

Hi Kalyn I’m Veronica and I suggest you for your italian trip to stay a few days in Venice! I live there and I will never get tired of the decadent beauty of this city. There are a lot of little islands to visit and museums. But I have to admit that also the south is stunning. Also if you want to have an “into the nature” sunny and wine vacation I highly suggest you to go to Toscana. During the end of summer it’s just so relaxing and zen! Xoxo

Your posts continue to inspire me every single time you upload. I'm honestly so in love with your way with words, thank you for being someone who gives me motivation and inspiration throughout everything Kalyn x

Yum OMG these look absolutely amazing!! I am such a pizza addict it is so bad! I definitely want to try out these vegan pizzas though!! Also I just want to say I am OBSESSED with you podcast!! I seriously love it!! xx

Hi Kalyn :) I'm Elena and I'm from Italy as well as Veronica in the other comment, but I'm from Turin and I'd really like to suggest you to spend a couple of days here, too. It's a beautiful city for Italian history, art and food! But I think that every Italian would suggest you to visit his/her city because Italy is beautiful from the Alpes to Sicily! I really hope (and wish) you can press the "book flight" button soon! Kisses

Hi Kalyn So in a nutshell, I'm Steph, 28, a kiwi living in England, wife of a cute English lad and dog mummy to a little puppy called Bella I've watched your videos for years now...maybe since 2012? Oh my gosh that's a lot of years, I've never commented or sent you a message or whatever ever before because obvs, I'm a complete stranger and to be honest your a stranger I watch on the internet.After watching a few videos recently I feel completely connected with your vibes (more so Than usual) and for some odd reason I felt compelled to send you a message to tell you that I appreciate your videos, the time you spend planning, filming, editing must be epic, and for that I thank you. Thank you for motivating me, for encouraging me, reassuring me, exciting me and making me smile. I'm very much a girlie girl but I'm also incredibly in touch with nature and the universe, the universe is beyond incredible...as your videos have become more LOA/Zen/Yoga based I've definitely been On a higher frequency with your videos and adore them.So to sum up a ridiculously long message,Thank you.Thank you for allowing me into your space on the internet, Steph xx

Hey there Kalyn, Rakesh here, 36 from this place we call the 6ix. Just finished watching your review of Eckhart Tolle's Power of Now for a little fresher from when I read it a few yrs back, n it was very concise. I'm a big acronym person and made a good one watchin your vid to remind myself of the key points in the book. PAT - presence, acceptance, and observe the 'thinker'. Cheers and Vino Veritas.

Omg Kalyn😍 I love every post that you update! I recommend you to add to your bucketlist a festival called "Burning Man" I never have been here but I saw the movie ("The girl from the song" I totally recommend you😍) and I started to searching information about that festival and Omg😍 I fell in love with "Burning Man Festival". Now I'm saving money to be able to go!👏 So that is I wanted to tell you😁.
